Wall-Hung Custom-Made Metal Sunshade and Architectural Airflow Panels with UV and Rain Protection

Modern Building Envelopes and Climate Defense

As climate change intensifies, architectural façades must not only enhance aesthetics but also serve as barriers against UV radiation, rainfall, and excessive heat. Wall-hung custom-made metal sunshade systems paired with ventilated aluminum airflow panels are becoming standard in modern façade engineering. The Singapore Urban Gallery adopted this hybrid system to lower interior temperatures while protecting walls from tropical downpours.    See Singapore Case

Material Composition and Coating Technology

These panels are typically fabricated from anodized or PVDF-coated aluminum alloy (e.g., 3003 or 5052 grade), selected for their lightweight strength and corrosion resistance. Rain deflection features are embedded in the fins, and UV durability is ensured through ISO-certified coatings. In zones with slippery walkways, Anti-Slip Perforated Panels are applied for exterior safety integration.

Ventilation Optimization and Rain Drainage

Ventilated airflow panels ensure passive cooling behind the cladding layer while preventing water penetration. Panels are tilted to promote gravity-based water shedding and air convection. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis is often used in design to validate flow behavior. Systems comply with ASTM E331 and ISO 12208 standards for wind-driven rain resistance.    See Case Study

Visual and Acoustic Harmony

The dual-purpose design allows for both visual lightness and acoustic control. Acoustic Perforated Panels are integrated behind the sunshade system, absorbing sound from busy streets or open plazas. These features are approved by the Acoustical Society of America. Meanwhile, Decorative Perforated Panels add symbolic and regional identity to the library’s façade.    Decorative Example

Engineering and Compliance Framework

Wall-hung systems follow structural guidance such as ASCE 7 and ASTM E1233. Brackets are prefabricated and field-adjustable for flexible installation. Load calculations consider wind uplift and dynamic sway. Recently, this system was featured in Architectural Digest for its elegant rain-screen functionality at the Osaka Civic Center.
